The present invention relates to bioactive extracts its fractions and isolation of compound from
Rauwolfia tetraphylla
. The extracts and fractions are useful for the treatment of psychosis based on in-vivo validation on animal model and proportional binding affinities for dopaminergic-D
2
, Cholinergic (muscarinic) and Serotonergic (5HT
2A
) receptors for antipsychotic activity. The present invention relates to novel antipsychotic activity in the leaf alkaloids of Formula 1 and 2 named tetrahydroalstonine, 10-methoxytetrahydroalstonine, isoreserpiline, 10-derαethoxyreserpiline, 11-demethoxyreserpiline, reserpiline and α-yohimbine. The present invention also relates to processes for obtaining antipsychotic extracts as well as for the isolation of alkabids of formula 1 and 2 from the leaves of
Rauwolfia tetraphylla
. The present invention particularly relates to significant antipsychotic activity in the MeOH extract, ethylacetate and chloroform fractions of
R. tetraphylla
and in the isolated compounds α-yohimbine, reserpiline and in a mixture 10-demethoxyreserpiline and 11-demethoxyreserpiline in 1:1.5 ratios for treating psychosis without any extra pyramidal symptoms (EPS).
